Thursday Night Throwdown 6/03: Red Dead Redemption
The friends list thing should be done differently.
Maybe the list should be cleared Wednesday afternoons when the news story for TNT goes up.
Doing it randomly and early you end up with a bunch of assholes that send out requests Monday or Tuesday who aren't even playing the game on Thursday. It'd be nice if there were an easy way to block those morons for the next week but unfortunately there isn't.

2.) No need to bring up that thread here unless you're just trying to start a war for some attention. (By the way, the name calling was only you whilst I was trying to be reasonable.)
3.) I remember they said it at some point, but I forget exactly when. I have been cleared from the list twice though, so I know they do it at least once a week.

" I call bullshit on this full list nonsense. If you can fill the list in less than 30 minutes, then you can start accepting people at 3:00 pm on Thursday. And judging from the past TNTs, quite a few people are playing other games during that time. The Blur one showed more people playing RDR for instance, making the guys that wanted in on Blur but couldn't get in pretty pissed off - and rightfully so. It's good to see you planned accordingly and made sure you got a list started early, that's smart, but now it seems that because of the popularity (and list size limitations) that you will have start accepting people right before it starts or start announcing when interested people should by ready to apply. I propose you wipe the list now, announce that you will be accepting for RDR on Thursday at a specific time, and then make that time the same for every TNT from now on. "They were still taking friend invites on the 360 while they were playing Blur. As for the PS3...they had around 4 people online on their friends list and they didn't even join their game, prompting them to switch back to the 360.

" @Jethuty: If you're going to ask me a question, expect an answer! I answered your question, and you tell me to just leave like I'm bothering you or something? Bullshit. "i asked you for one thing, which you couldnt remember, and then i got a whole boat load of stuff i didnt need.
so yeah, leave it.

I second the general idea behind this proposal. There is one issue with doing it at 3PM on Thursday, though. Some people in other timezones may not be available at that time. For example 3PM PDT is 5 here. Some people would just be getting off work and on the way home. Other Pacific Time folks would be left out in that case too if they didn't have ready access to the internet at that time (or a PS3 handy)." I call bullshit on this full list nonsense.

I'd say opening up requests a day in advance would be good enough to weed out some people who just send requests and aren't even playing the damned game come Thursday. It's no solution, of course, but it is a better option. Really, just announcing well in advance a firm time that requests would be starting to open would be enough.
I watched "I love Mondays" around 4 or 5 after work Monday (not a holiday for me), heard you were accepting requests for RDR, hurriedly tried to send one and boom...already full. Willing to bet money that 1/3 of those assholes won't even be on or playing RDR Thursday.
I even tried to send a PSN friend request since I still have a copy of that version that a friend of mine won't pick up til the weekend. No luck there either, despite stating even here that the list hadn't been filed yet.
Hey guys how can I get into this? tried adding GBTNT yesterday but the friends list was maxed out. Do they clear it each week?
" At this point I say fuck TNT. They never seem to do anything but screw off and have horrible lag anyway. The SSFIV one was the only one that was decent and not a glorified advertisement. "
What is this...i dont even....
Gah - damn shame that as An EU player this is the only 'released' game i couldve joined a TNT for- however GBTNT on the ps3 is totally full :(
If anyone doesnt join or drops out then gimme a shout! xD
" @The_Laughing_Man said:If you need the trophy to kill someone who has killed a rockstar guy. Kill me." What time EST is this? "7:00 PM.

"Yeah, clearly no one here enjoys this feature. The fact that they didn't save a spot on their friends list for you just pisses me off...oh wait...it's just you.
If you catch I Love Mondays when it comes out, you should have no problem. RDR was HIGHLY requested for TNT, so I'm not surprised that the list was full within the first hour. I'm sorry if you wanted to get in and it was full, but that's the breaks.
" Love that movie! "Hell yeah I have it on blu-ray and it sucks that this is full for the 360.
It'd make more sense to say on I Love Mondays, "Hey, this week we'll be playing Red Dead Redemption for Thursday Night Throwown! Wednesday at 4PM PDT we will clear out the lists and start accepting new requests! So be ready to send your requests at 4PDT Wednesday!"
Then just make that the routine every week. Still first come first serve, but at least more of the community will have a shot.
24 hours is more than enough time to fill the friend lists. Especially when people are ready and waiting to send out invites.
As it is now, by the time most people even see ILM, the damned friends list is full. It's shitty and could be done better. That's all.
